And we can do our part by keeping our masks on, and avoid talking on public transport," he said.While encouraging the employers to change their work habits, the Minister said, "Be flexible with time and place of work. After all, when we come into office, it is to meet people, sign documents, use certain equipment."And by travelling off-peak, public transport can bring more people to and from work, yet not crowded," he added.The Straits Times has reported that the government has allowed work-related events such as meetings, training sessions, townhalls, corporate retreats, tender briefings to vendors and business conferences, as well as onboarding or retrenchment exercises.However, people will have to follow COVID-19 norms such as wearing face masks and maintain social distancing.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
